"A lousy mid-90's action movie" That about sums it up, as my reaction when the lights went up was the same as Dr. Banner's. Bad jokes, inconsistent tone, poor plotting pacing and not enough Iron Man. At best a 2/5
Having heard an interview with Morrison on Kevin Smith's podcast, he had mentioned that his original plan was to kill Damian at the end of the story that introduced him.
Said podcast is required listening for Bat or Morrison fans
I agree with the others, DC is a mess creatively. Read Marvel Comics, the Untold Story. The same personell from 90's Marvel are making the same mistakes with the publisher across the street. And it is no more apparent than with the CGSers on this episode. PAnts, Shane and Murd are DC lifers and they've seen their pull lists dwindle down to a handfull of comics. It's a real shame.
"At this point, the only thing that could elicit a genuine shock from DC readers would be if the company decided to quit all the cheap storytelling tricks and actually push its books in a genuinely character-driven direction. Since launching The New 52 in September of 2011, the publisher has been emphasizing plot over character, and while there are certainly exceptions, there seem to be fewer with each month that passes under the editorial leadership of Bob Harras and Bobbie Chase."
